EMBODIMENTS

(7) Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(8) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the baby feeding bottle of the present invention includes a feeding bottle body 10, a silicone tube 20, a sealing cap 30, and a nipple 40.

(9) The feeding bottle body 10 is configured by forming an assembly portion 11 configured to protrude from the outside of the top thereof and to have a ring-shaped assembly groove 12, a stop protrusion portion 13 configured to extend horizontally from the outside of the bottom thereof, and a coupling protrusion portion 14 configured to extend vertically.

(10) Furthermore, a screw coupling portion 15 is further formed on the top of the assembly portion 11 of the feeding bottle body.

(11) The silicone tube 20 is tanned in a vertical hollow structure. A valve 25 configured to fill and discharge air is formed in one side of the silicone tube 20. The silicone tube 20 is configured to be fitted into and coupled to the outside of the feasting bottle body. The upper end of the silicone tube 20 is formed to be inwardly thicker than the tube, forms a ring coupling portion 21 having a large ring-shaped cross-section and high elasticity, and is coupled to the assembly groove 12 of the assembly portion in a sealed manner by being inserted to come into close contact with the assembly groove 12 of the assembly portion. The lower end of the silicone tube 20 forms a horizontally bent portion 22 inward, and is coupled in a sealed manner by locating the horizontally bent portion 22 under the stop protrusion portion 13 and then pressing the horizontally bent portion 22 with the sealing cap 30 screwed to the coupling protrusion portion 14.

(12) The assembly portion 11 of the feeding bottle body is formed such that a lower protrusion 11b extends longer than an upper protrusion 11a outward, so that the ring coupling portion 21 of the silicone tube can be easily inserted into the assembly groove 12 of the assembly portion 11 and is prevented from being separated downward.

(13) Furthermore, at least one sealing ring 35 configured to press and seal the lower end of the silicone tube 20 is inserted and disposed over the sealing cap 30.

(14) Furthermore, the nipple 40 is seated and disposed on the top of the feeding bottle body 10, and the coupling cap 45 is screwed to the stew coupling portion 15 in the upper portion of the feeding bottle body and fastens the nipple.

(15) Reference symbol 32 designates a screw hole configured for screw coupling to the coupling protrusion portion 14 of the feeding bottle body, reference symbol 33 designates art insertion groove configured to receive the sealing ring 35, and reference symbol 32 designates a lid configured to be coupled over the nipple.

(16) Next, the operation and operation of the present invention configured as described abuse will be described.

(17) First, a proem of assembling the baby feeding bottle of the present invention will be described. The silicone tube 20 having a vertical hollow structure is fitted into the feeding bottle body 10 from a location above the feeding bottle body 10.

(18) In this case, the ring coupling portion 21 protruding inward from the upper end of the silicone tube 20 is extended, and is inserted and mounted into the assembly groove 12 of the assembly portion formed on the outside of the upper portion of the feeding bottle body.

(19) In particular, the ring coupling portion 21 is formed to have a ring-shaped cross-section so that it is thicker than the tube and has high elasticity. Accordingly, when the ring coupling portion 21 is extended and then inserted and mounted into the assembly groove 12 of the assembly portion, it is elastically brought into close contact with the assembly groove 12 and sealed and coupled by high sealing force.

(20) Furthermore, the assembly portion 11 to which the ring coupling portion 21 of the silicone tube is coupled is formed such that the lower protrusion 11b extends longer than the upper protrusion 11a outward, and thus the insertion and mounting of the ring coupling portion 21 of the silicone tube into the assembly groove 12 of the assembly portion is facilitated and the ring coupling portion inserted and mounted into the assembly groove 12 is prevented from being separated downward by the lower protrusion 11b, thereby securely maintaining a sealed and coupled state.

(21) After the top of the silicone tube 20 has been coupled in a sealed state, the horizontally bent portion 22 protruding inward from the lower end of the silicone tube 20 is located under the stop protrusion portion 13 horizontally extending outward from the lower portion of the feeding bottle body.

(22) In this state, the sealing ring 35 is seated over the coupling protrusion portion 14 extending vertically from the bottom of the feeding bottle body and the sealing cap 30 is screwed thereonto, and thus the sealing ring 35 elastically presses the horizontally bent portion 22 of the silicone tube onto the stop protrusion portion 13 and achieves sealing.

(23) As described above, with a simple structure in which the silicone tube 20 is directly fitted into the feeding bottle body 10 of the present invention and the upper and lower ends are coupled in a sealed manner, foreign materials are prevented from entering the inside of the feeding bottle body 10.

(24) In this coupled state, the nipple 40 is seated and mounted on the top of the feeding bottle body 10, and the coupling cap 45 is screwed and fastened onto the top of the feeding bottle both.

(25) In this coupled state, the feeding bottle of the present invention contains mother's milk or milk inside the feeding bottle body 10 and is used to feed milk to a child. Air is filled into the inside through the valve 25 of the silicone tube 20, and the feeding bottle is used by an infant in a state in which the silicone tube 20 is inflated. Accordingly, it improves the feel and provides a sense of stability like in the case of mother's milk.

(26) When it is necessary to clean the inside of the silicone tube 20 during the use thereof, the sealing cap 30 on the bottom of the feeding bottle body is released to release the sealed and coupled stile of the bottom of the silicone tube 20.

(27) In this state, as shown in FIG. 7, a space is opened between the silicone tube 20 and the feeding bottle body 10 by flipping the bottom of the silicone tube upward, and thus the cleaning of the inside is conveniently performed.

(28) After the above-described cleaning, the lower end of the silicone tube 20 is coupled to the feeding bottle body in a sealed manner again, and is then used.

(29) Therefore, with the simple structure in which the present invention is configured to directly insert and couple the silicone tube 20 onto the outside of the feeding bottle body 10 without requiring a separate cover as in the prior art, the ring coupling portion 21 on the top of the silicone tube is coupled to the assembly groove 12 in a sealed manner, and the horizontal bent portion 22 on the bottom of the silicone tube 20 is coupled in a sealed manner by screwing the sealing cap, manufacturing cost is reduced, assembly and disassembly are facilitated, foreign materials are prevented from entering the inside thereof, and the cleaning of the inside thereof is facilitated by flipping the silicone tube.
